linen sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers are undeniably more luxurious than anything synthetic, and attention to detail and lovely finishing touches like the three-line satin stitching on the Genoa linen from The Fine Cotton Company shown centre left [3] will instantly give your bedroom the look and feel of a boutique hotel – and indeed, the company supplies bed linen to luxury hotels around the world. “Introduce a velvet statement headboard, and pile on the pillows and scatter cushions for that stylish boutique hotel finish,” says Jane Robson, their Founder.

If it’s your child rather than you who has trouble sleeping, there could be a high-tech solution in the form of the new Playbulb Zoocoro intelligent lighting range. It comprises smart colour change lighting and a Bluetooth speaker to allow you to combine light and sounds to create a good sleeping environment, using your child’s favourite music or even e-stories, all controlled from a free Playbulb X app (from the AppStore for Apple devices and Google Play for Android). A timer function allows you to set the lamps to switch on and off at a pre-set time.

If worries about the future of the environment are what keep you awake at night, you can rest easier knowing that Team 7, a luxury furniture (and kitchen) brand from Austria, has been recognised internationally for their commitment to ecologically-sound management. They source superior-grade woods from local, sustainably- managed forests and, treated only with natural oil, the wood remains free from harmful substances. Wharfside is the exclusive UK dealer of Team 7’s lovely Float bed. Made of solid wood, Float’s design has a unique lightness, and appears to float even when it’s combined with a high mattress. It’s available in beech, beech heart, maple, walnut, cherry and oak, with headboards in solid wood, fabric or natural leather.
Curtains and blinds can work to bring the whole look together in a bedroom, and Lorna McAleer of Style Studio, a brand of window products sold nationwide with one of the UK’s largest collections of Roman blinds and co-ordinating curtain fabrics, has noticed a growing trend in bedroom window-dressing – applying two co- ordinating fabrics at windows, with Roman blinds in the recess and curtains as an additional feature. “Not only does this ‘dual-dressing’ have an insulating
effect in the colder months, it creates a very opulent look for both modern homes or period properties. It’s a design feature in itself,” she says, adding: “Also, consumers suffering from ‘austerity fatigue’ are becoming more focused on the pursuit of affordable luxury. This has encouraged a revival of plush materials like velvet and brocade.” Style Studio’s Elega fabric, shown in fuchsia [2], is a sumptuous, deep-pile crushed velvet that perfectly sums up her theory and works well with the dual-dressing look.
